Mayajaal game review – Android

Mayajaal is a cool new runner by the developer MAST Studios. The title of the game translates to ‘the snares of the illusory world’ and the levels are no less than that. This game is quite similar to The Line Zen, where the aim is to guide a dot through a dangerous path.

All the walls are lined with spikes that will cause you to disintegrate into bubbles if you so much as pass near them. The levels are nuanced and feature some elements of puzzle-solving. Some of these levels have colour-coded gateways and the only way you can get through them is by becoming of the same colour. You start off with a few lives and if you exhaust them there’s a waiting time before you can resume playing. The other option is to watch an ad and get 20 lives instantly (not a bad bargain). The game is polished and the graphics are refined.

The game ought to be played for the complexity of problem-solving required as well as for some trick levels which have simple solutions that are not immediately obvious. The game is bereft of a noticeable soundtrack and this allows you to focus on playing the game properly. The difficulty is notched up a level because of the mechanics of the game which has the dot moving faster than you would expect.
